BOSP: Sensory Sessions

BOSP offers bespoke individual sensory room sessions for children and young people (aged 0-25), and their parents/carers, who cannot attend a group session because their health needs preclude them or because it will be too overwhelming. Sensory environments can help de-stress and be highly absorbing, providing comfort and calm for overactive and distressed individuals. They can help children and young people learn to focus in a safe place so they are better equipped to deal with real-world environments where calm and concentration is key.
